Just liThis book was even better than the first of the series. It was interesting to see a different, and darker perspective of the publishing world. Just like many mysteries, nothing is what it seems as the story is revealed. It was fantastic to see the dynamic duo, Strike & Robin, once again solving a case, where it left me wondering "who" & "why" till the very end. I hope this series will continue. I would enjoy reading about Strike & Robin again, not only solving a case but exploring a bit more about their personal lives....more

Even at a great loss, you can't stop living your life, or shelter your life from opportunities. You have to keep going, take chances, and find things that make you happy. I look forward to reading the sequel to this novel, and anything else from Estela. ...more

It was like a snapshot of life. Even though Immy is older than I am, she is really relatable to me. The unknown can be scary and it's much easier to just stay with the familiar, but then you don't really fully enjoy all of what life has in store. Love is the greatest adventure there is. Immy experiences it, and learns from it. It impacts not only her, but those around her, especially her family. ...more
